Including Oncological Image Data From CD-ROMs into the Normal Workflow
Peter M. A. van Ooijen, André Broekema · Journal of Oncology Practice · 2008
To the Editor: As posed by Blayney,1 many oncology departments run into problems nowadays with the patient image data are frequently presented to the physician on CD-ROM. Common problems lie in the inability to use the CD-ROMs because of security measures by the local Information Technology department prohibiting start-up of the software contained on the CD-ROM or the inability to read the images altogether. Furthermore, when the software on the CD-ROM does display the images, it presents the physician with an unfamiliar interface, thus hampering the easy evaluation of the data.
